This video features discussion of the kinds of tools used to excavate at the Cooper'sFerry site. Also, the effect of animal burrowing on archeological deposits and how they are handled during the excavation process is discussed. The infilled tunnels left behind by burrowing animals are called krotovina (sounds like crow-toe-vee-na).

Al’Ula is an ancient settlement of 800 or so tightly packed mud buildings in Northwestern Saudi Arabia. Traveling through these more than 2,000-year-old buildings feels like walking through a maze. It was originally built in the 6th century BCE and would be lived in for a few more centuries and then would be reconstructed in the 13th century. The town would be built up from the original foundations but was abandoned near the beginning of the 20th century and has been left to slowly rot in the hot sun for centuries.

# 8 Mound of the HostagesThe Mound of Hostages is 15 meters in diameter and 3 meters high and was built around 5,000 years ago. It is thought that as many as 500 people used the mound as their final resting place. It was built in relation to the sun and moon, specifically in a way that sunlight never penetrates the tomb except for twice every year. In excavations taken between 1955 and 1959 the cremated remains of over 200 people and several burial gifts, making it one of the most comprehensive set of grave goods ever found. More recent excavations have found buried stone structures that might suggest that the mound was originally a monument even bigger than Stonehenge.
# 7 Cave of the Seven Sleepers
In the year 250, the Roman EmperorDecius declared that everyone must perform a sacrifice to the empire and Roman gods. The Christian communities living under his rule did not appreciate this, and so seven young Christian men fled to a cave in the outskirts of the city and fell asleep. So they were sealed in by Roman soldiers. These caves are still known as the Cave of Seven Sleepers to this day.
# 6 Petra
Petra is a historical site known for amazing architecture that is cut directly from rock. It could have been established as early as 312 BCE but would not be discovered by the western globe until 1812. It’s a site full of tombs and has managed to stay mostly intact for thousands of years. And as late as 2016 archaeologists discovered a large monumental structure buried beneath the sands in Petra using satellite imagery.
# 5 Itsukushima Shrine
The Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto Shrine in the Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was first built in 593 CE but has been rebuilt over and over again over time. The entire shrine is built on a pier away from the ground because the island was once thought to be too sacred for people to set foot on. The shrine was rebuilt most recently in 1875.
# 4 The LonelyCastle
Standing in the middle of absolutely nowhere in the north Saudi Arabian desert is a tomb cut into a rock formation. It is a part of an ancient Nabatean settlement but is the biggest tomb in the area by far at 131 feet tall. It is a four-story monument that is carved directly into the rock and while it is called a “Castle” it was never completed and is mostly just the outer facade.
# 3 Bethlehem Chapel
The Bethlehem Chapel is a historic site in Loire-Atlantique, France and was originally built in the Middle Ages. It was classified as a historic monument by 1911 but had eventually become a ruin by the 1990s. Jean-Louis Boisel and Gwenole Congard were commissioned to restore the monument, and instead of using traditional medieval constructs they decided to replace it with figures from pop culture. SO it is now restored in a medieval construct by guarded by statues of things like Gizmo and creatures from Alien turning an ancient historic site into a contemporary one.
# 2 The RedChurch
The Red Church in what is now Bulgaria was one of the earliest Christian buildings ever built, established between the 4th and 5th century. It was a building that had ceilings of 32 meters to 104 feet and covered in huge frescoes. It was eventually destroyed by Crusaders in the 13th century, but parts of the original structures still stand to this day.
# 1 MyraNecropolis
In the hills of SouthernTurkey, you can find the Myra Necropolis, a structure that dates back to 4th century BCE. This breathtaking complex of tombs is carved into a cliff directly near the ocean and river of Myra, several meters above the town. The tombs have stood the test of time and offer a strange look into the way ancient people laid their dead to rest.

Discover ancient places where people lived long ago.
The National ParkService (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) excavated nine archaeological sites along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon during three years of fieldwork. The NPS/MNA excavation project was the first major archaeological excavation to occur along the river corridor in Grand Canyon in nearly 40 years. The NPS has a "preservation-in-place" mandate, and excavates archaeological sites only when they cannot be stabilized and preserved in place. These sites were disappearing due to erosion; artifacts were literally washing into the river. Because these sites were being lost, the NPS initiated excavations to learn more about the people who lived here before the archaeological evidence of their lives in the canyon was completely gone.
Archaeologists excavated the sites, exposing them for a few days or weeks during which time these videos were taken. Immediately after excavation, the sites were reburied to protect them from further damage from exposure to the elements and possible damage from visitation. This video and the virtual tour (below) is now the only way to experience these places where people once lived.

The "red-rose" city of Petra stands as one of the most glorious and mysterious archaeological sites on earth. Created over 2,500 years ago, the ornate Petra cityscape was literally carved into the rose-colored walls of Jordan's SharaMountains. The builders of Petra, the Nabataeans, were thought to be some of the wealthiest people ever to inhabit the Middle East, but they, along with their riches, simply vanished. What was Petra and could the Arabian site be still hiding precious treasure?
Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BCE as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". See: UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."
Evidence suggests that settlements had begun in and around Petra in the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt (1550--1292 BCE)[citation needed]. It is listed in Egyptian campaign accounts and the Amarna letters as Pel, Sela or Seir. Though the city was founded relatively late, a sanctuary existed there since very ancient times. Stations 19 through 26 of the stations list of Exodus are places associated with Petra. This part of the country was biblically assigned to the Horites, the predecessors of the Edomites. The habits of the original natives may have influenced the Nabataean custom of burying the dead and offering worship in half-excavated caves. Although Petra is usually identified with Sela which means a rock, the Biblical references refer to

Yale's Center for Teaching and Learning, the campus hub for innovative and creative teaching methodologies, brought students to an ancient Assyrian palace via Oculus Rift, a virtual reality system. The students were in a class on the history of the ancient near east taught by Kathryn Slanski. The palace model was created by Learning Sites, a Massachusetts-based company that creates virtual models of archaeological sites for educational purposes.

#4 Sacsayhuaman (sax-a-woman)
On the outskirts of the city of Cusco in Peru, you’ll find an ancient walled fortress … sections of which were initially built in the year 1100. Sacsayhuaman was a citadel complex that was expanded upon by the Inca starting in 1300, and involved the use of stones that weighed hundreds of tons. Workers cut the boulders so precisely that they fit without mortar … even a piece of paper couldn’t fit in the space between them. That has led some sources to speculate that the workers must have had access to something more advanced than bronze tools to cut through the hard andesite stone. Cuts so precise seem more likely to have been made with a machine, than primitive tools … at least according to certain theories. Could the Inca have had access to some form of advanced technology … and if so, how might that impact history?
#3 The Moai (MO-eye) HeadsEaster Island is an isolated volcanic island in Polynesia … where it might be better known as Rapa Nui. No matter the island’s name, it’s famous for being the home of the Moai heads. Around 900 of the huge stone figures are believed to have been erected there from the 12th to the 17th century. Standing at an average height of 13 feet, the monolithic human figures weigh on average nearly 14 tons … but the largest stood 33 feet and weighed more than 90 tons! They were carved from volcanic ash, then set atop stone platforms, and scattered in various locations across the island. One question that always arises concerning the Moai Heads is, ‘Are they attached to bodies’? And in fact they attached to bodies that are usually placed in a squatting position, buy are buried up to the neck. Many archaeologists believe that the Moai heads represent the ancestors of the ancient Polynesian peoples … other experts see the stone heads as symbols of religious and/or political power and authority. And there’s another mystery regarding the monoliths -- how exactly were they transported across the island?
#2 Ggantija (GAHN-tie-jah)
These two temples were were constructed in Malta starting in the Neolithic, around 3600 BC. They are the earliest Megalithic Temples found in the island country … although the temples are found specifically on the island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean. At some 5,500 years old, they’re older than the pyramids of Egypt. Experts say that the temples would have been used as ceremonial sites for fertility rituals … and have found figurines and statues in the area that have been apparently linked to such a cult. The construction of these edifices presents its own mystery: How could the huge stone buildings have been erected when the islanders didn’t have the wheel or the use of metal tools? Spherical stones found nearby may have been used as a type of ball-bearing to transport the blocks … but that’s not a certainty. Nor is the exact purpose for which the temples were built. What do you think?
#1 Gobekli Tepe
This mysterious site is located in southeastern Turkey … and is thought to date back as far as the 10th millennium BC. Nearly 1,000 feet in diameter (300m), the site features more than 200T-shaped pillars arranged in 20 circles …Did you know that they are believed to be the oldest known megaliths on the planet. Every one of the pillars reaches 20 feet high (3m), and weighs around 20 tons. Sockets were carved out of the bedrock, into which the pillars were fitted. Located on an isolated plateau, Gobekli Tepe was first documented during a survey in the early 1960s. In 1995, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavations there, which continued until his death in 2014. Schmidt believed the site was not a settlement … but a stone-age sanctuary where people from across the region would occasionally congregate. Some of the findings there raise more archaeological questions than answers. For instance, strange pictograms and carved animal reliefs decorate most of the pillars, with vultures displayed prominently. So far, scholars have not been able to interpret the pictograms meanings. Nothing has yet been determined for certain about Gobekli Tepe, since excavations have revealed less than 5 percent of the area. But radiocarbon dating suggests it could represent the oldest religious site yet discovered in the world.

When his brother King Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's son and successor, the 12-year-old Edward V. As the young king travelled to London from Ludlow, Richard met and escorted him to lodgings in the Tower of London, where Edward V's own brother Richard of Shrewsbury joined him shortly afterwards. Arrangements were made for Edward's coronation on 22 June 1483; but, before the young king could be crowned, his father's marriage to his mother Elizabeth Woodville was declared invalid, making their children illegitimate and ineligible for the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of Lords and commoners endorsed the claims. The following day, Richard III began his reign, and he was crowned on 6 July 1483. The young princes were not seen in public after August, and accusations circulated that the boys had been murdered on Richard's orders, giving rise to the legend of the Princes in the Tower.

Richard III (1699 play)

Some modern catalogues such as ECCO list the play as Cibber's work, others, such as EEBO, offer Shakespeare as the author and reduce Cibber's role to that of an author and theatre expert who simply adapted the play.

History

Cibber, a noted theatre manager, first attempted to stage his version in 1699. The performance was a disaster. The Master of the Revels censored the entire first act, which Cibber had completely redesigned. Cibber published his version (1700), including the problematic act, with a short note on its suppression. Ensuing performances from 1704 eventually risked the entire play in Cibber's new form. The play became a success with leading actors such as David Garrick playing Richard.

The Shakespeare renaissance of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries deprecated modifications of Shakespeare's plots. Cibber's adaptation could not stand comparison with Shakespearean originals.

When the film was released in the U.S., actor Frederick Warde would often appear at screenings, giving a short lecture, and then reading extracts from the play during the changing of the reels. The film itself begins with Warde, in modern dress, emerging from behind a theatrical curtain and bowing, and concludes with him bowing again, and returning behind the curtain. The film also features two scenes from 3 Henry VI (the murder of Prince Edward and Richard's murder of Henry VI).

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 or 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.

Grand Canyon Limited

History

In 1901 the Santa Fe Railroad completed a 64-mile (103-km) branch from Williams, Arizona, to "Grand Canyon Village" at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The first scheduled train arrived from Williams on September 17 of that year; branch line trains and excursions from Southern California, Chicago, and Texas could run directly to the Rim. On June 29, 1929 service commenced on the Grand Canyon Limited, which became a celebrated vacation train.

The westward train split at Barstow, one section running to San Francisco (Oakland-Richmond) via the Tehachapi Loop while the other continued to Los Angeles. In 1938 it began running via Amarillo instead of La Junta; in 1950 it became two trains west of Kansas City, one by each route.

During World War II the Limited often ran in two or three sections carrying troops. In later years the train lost passengers to the railroad's newer trains such as the Super Chief with its streamlined cars.

Stations 19 through 26 of the stations list of Exodus are places associated with Petra. This part of the country was biblically assigned to the Horites, the predecessors of the Edomites. The habits of the original natives may have influenced the Nabataean custom of burying the dead and offering worship in half-excavated caves. Although Petra is usually identified with Sela which means a rock, the Biblical references refer to

#4 Sacsayhuaman (sax-a-woman)
On the outskirts of the city of Cusco in Peru, you’ll find an ancient walled fortress … sections of which were initially built in the year 1100. Sacsayhuaman was a citadel complex that was expanded upon by the Inca starting in 1300, and involved the use of stones that weighed hundreds of tons. Workers cut the boulders so precisely that they fit without mortar … even a piece of paper couldn’t fit in the space between them. That has led some sources to speculate that the workers must have had access to something more advanced than bronze tools to cut through the hard andesite stone. Cuts so precise seem more likely to have been made with a machine, than primitive tools … at least according to certain theories. Could the Inca have had access to some form of advanced technology … and if so, how might that impact history?
#3 The Moai (MO-eye) HeadsEaster Island is an isolated volcanic island in Polynesia … where it might be better known as Rapa Nui. No matter the island’s name, it’s famous for being the home of the Moai heads. Around 900 of the huge stone figures are believed to have been erected there from the 12th to the 17th century. Standing at an average height of 13 feet, the monolithic human figures weigh on average nearly 14 tons … but the largest stood 33 feet and weighed more than 90 tons! They were carved from volcanic ash, then set atop stone platforms, and scattered in various locations across the island. One question that always arises concerning the Moai Heads is, ‘Are they attached to bodies’? And in fact they attached to bodies that are usually placed in a squatting position, buy are buried up to the neck. Many archaeologists believe that the Moai heads represent the ancestors of the ancient Polynesian peoples … other experts see the stone heads as symbols of religious and/or political power and authority. And there’s another mystery regarding the monoliths -- how exactly were they transported across the island?
#2 Ggantija (GAHN-tie-jah)
These two temples were were constructed in Malta starting in the Neolithic, around 3600 BC. They are the earliest Megalithic Temples found in the island country … although the temples are found specifically on the island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean. At some 5,500 years old, they’re older than the pyramids of Egypt. Experts say that the temples would have been used as ceremonial sites for fertility rituals … and have found figurines and statues in the area that have been apparently linked to such a cult. The construction of these edifices presents its own mystery: How could the huge stone buildings have been erected when the islanders didn’t have the wheel or the use of metal tools? Spherical stones found nearby may have been used as a type of ball-bearing to transport the blocks … but that’s not a certainty. Nor is the exact purpose for which the temples were built. What do you think?
#1 Gobekli Tepe
This mysterious site is located in southeastern Turkey … and is thought to date back as far as the 10th millennium BC. Nearly 1,000 feet in diameter (300m), the site features more than 200T-shaped pillars arranged in 20 circles …Did you know that they are believed to be the oldest known megaliths on the planet. Every one of the pillars reaches 20 feet high (3m), and weighs around 20 tons. Sockets were carved out of the bedrock, into which the pillars were fitted. Located on an isolated plateau, Gobekli Tepe was first documented during a survey in the early 1960s. In 1995, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavations there, which continued until his death in 2014. Schmidt believed the site was not a settlement … but a stone-age sanctuary where people from across the region would occasionally congregate. Some of the findings there raise more archaeological questions than answers. For instance, strange pictograms and carved animal reliefs decorate most of the pillars, with vultures displayed prominently. So far, scholars have not been able to interpret the pictograms meanings. Nothing has yet been determined for certain about Gobekli Tepe, since excavations have revealed less than 5 percent of the area. But radiocarbon dating suggests it could represent the oldest religious site yet discovered in the world.

An archaeological site is a place (or group of physical sites) in which evidence of past activity is preserved (either prehistoric or historic or contemporary), and which has been, or may be, investigated using the discipline of archaeology and represents a part of the archaeological record. Sites may range from those with few or no remains visible above ground, to buildings and other structures still in use.
Beyond this, the definition and geographical extent of a "site" can vary widely, depending on the period studied and the theoretical approach of the archaeologist.
It is almost invariably difficult to delimit a site. It is sometimes taken to indicate a settlement of some sort although the archaeologist must also define the limits of human activity around the settlement. Any episode of deposition such as a hoard or burial can form a site as well. Development-led archaeology undertaken as cultural resources management has the disadvantage (or the benefit) of having its sites defined by the limits of the intended development. Even in this case however, in describing and interpreting the site, the archaeologist will have to look outside the boundaries of the building site.
According to JessBeck in “How Do Archaeologists find sites?” the areas with a large number of artifacts are good targets for future excavation, while areas with small number of artifacts are thought to reflect a lack of past human activity.” Many areas have been discovered by accident. The most common person to have found artifacts are farmers who are plowing their fields or just cleaning them up often find archaeological artifacts. Many people who are out hiking and even pilots find artifacts they usually end up reporting them to archaeologist to do further investigation. When they find sites, they have to first record the area and if they have the money and time for the site they can start digging.
There are many ways to find sites, one example can be through surveys. Surveys involve walking around analyzing the land looking for artifacts. It can also involve digging, according to the Archaeological Institute of America, “archaeologists actively search areas that were likely to support human populations, or in places where old documents and records indicate people once lived.” This helps archaeologists in the future. In case there was no time, or money during the finding of the site, archaeologists can come back and visit the site for further digging to find out the extent of the site. Archaeologist can also sample randomly within a given area of land as another form of conducting surveys. Surveys are very useful, according to Jess Beck, “it can tell you where people were living at different points in the past.” Geophysics is a branch of survey becoming more and more popular in archaeology, because it uses different types of instruments to investigate features below the ground surface. It is not as reliable, because although they can see what is under the surface of the ground it does not produce the best picture. Archaeologists have to still dig up the area in order to uncover the truth. There are also two most common types of geophysical survey, which is, magnetometer and ground penetrating radar. Magnetometry is the technique of measuring and mapping patterns of magnetism in the soil. It uses an instrument called a magnetometer which is required to measure and map traces of soil magnetism. The ground penetrating radar is a method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It uses electro magnetic radiation in the microwave band of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures.

12 Unbelievable Archaeological Sites

Al’Ula is an ancient settlement of 800 or so tightly packed mud buildings in Northwestern Saudi Arabia. Traveling through these more than 2,000-year-old buildings feels like walking through a maze. It was originally built in the 6th century BCE and would be lived in for a few more centuries and then would be reconstructed in the 13th century. The town would be built up from the original foundations but was abandoned near the beginning of the 20th century and has been left to slowly rot in the hot sun for centuries.

Visit Grand Canyon Archeological Sites Hidden For Centuries.

Discover ancient places where people lived long ago.
The National ParkService (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) excavated nine archaeological sites along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon during three years of fieldwork. The NPS/MNA excavation project was the first major archaeological excavation to occur along the river corridor in Grand Canyon in nearly 40 years. The NPS has a "preservation-in-place" mandate, and excavates archaeological sites only when they cannot be stabilized and preserved in place. These sites were disappearing due to erosion; artifacts were literally washing into the river. Because these sites were being lost, the NPS initiated excavations to learn more about the people who lived here before the archaeological evidence of their lives in the can...

Petra one of the most Mysterious Archaeological Sites on Earth [FULL DOCUMENTARY]

The "red-rose" city of Petra stands as one of the most glorious and mysterious archaeological sites on earth. Created over 2,500 years ago, the ornate Petra cityscape was literally carved into the rose-colored walls of Jordan's SharaMountains. The builders of Petra, the Nabataeans, were thought to be some of the wealthiest people ever to inhabit the Middle East, but they, along with their riches, simply vanished. What was Petra and could the Arabian site be still hiding precious treasure?
Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it i...

# 8 Mound of the HostagesThe Mound of Hostages is 15 meters in diameter and 3 meters high and was built around 5,000 years ago. It is thought that as many as 500 people used the mound as their final resting place. It was built in relation to the sun and moon, specifically in a way that sunlight never penetrates the tomb except for twice every year. In excavations taken between 1955 and 1959 the cremated remains of over 200 people and several burial gifts, making it one of the most comprehensive set of grave goods ever found. More recent excavations have found buried stone structures that might suggest that the mound was originally a monument even bigger than Stonehenge.
# 7 Cave of the Seven Sleepers
In the year 250, the Roman EmperorDecius declared that everyone must perform a sacrifice to the empire and Roman gods. The Christian communities living under his rule did not appreciate this, and so seven young Christian men fled to a cave in the outskirts of the city and fell asleep. So they were sealed in by Roman soldiers. These caves are still known as the Cave of Seven Sleepers to this day.
# 6 Petra
Petra is a historical site known for amazing architecture that is cut directly from rock. It could have been established as early as 312 BCE but would not be discovered by the western globe until 1812. It’s a site full of tombs and has managed to stay mostly intact for thousands of years. And as late as 2016 archaeologists discovered a large monumental structure buried beneath the sands in Petra using satellite imagery.
# 5 Itsukushima Shrine
The Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto Shrine in the Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was first built in 593 CE but has been rebuilt over and over again over time. The entire shrine is built on a pier away from the ground because the island was once thought to be too sacred for people to set foot on. The shrine was rebuilt most recently in 1875.
# 4 The LonelyCastle
Standing in the middle of absolutely nowhere in the north Saudi Arabian desert is a tomb cut into a rock formation. It is a part of an ancient Nabatean settlement but is the biggest tomb in the area by far at 131 feet tall. It is a four-story monument that is carved directly into the rock and while it is called a “Castle” it was never completed and is mostly just the outer facade.
# 3 Bethlehem Chapel
The Bethlehem Chapel is a historic site in Loire-Atlantique, France and was originally built in the Middle Ages. It was classified as a historic monument by 1911 but had eventually become a ruin by the 1990s. Jean-Louis Boisel and Gwenole Congard were commissioned to restore the monument, and instead of using traditional medieval constructs they decided to replace it with figures from pop culture. SO it is now restored in a medieval construct by guarded by statues of things like Gizmo and creatures from Alien turning an ancient historic site into a contemporary one.
# 2 The RedChurch
The Red Church in what is now Bulgaria was one of the earliest Christian buildings ever built, established between the 4th and 5th century. It was a building that had ceilings of 32 meters to 104 feet and covered in huge frescoes. It was eventually destroyed by Crusaders in the 13th century, but parts of the original structures still stand to this day.
# 1 MyraNecropolis
In the hills of SouthernTurkey, you can find the Myra Necropolis, a structure that dates back to 4th century BCE. This breathtaking complex of tombs is carved into a cliff directly near the ocean and river of Myra, several meters above the town. The tombs have stood the test of time and offer a strange look into the way ancient people laid their dead to rest.

The Bethlehem Chapel is a historic site in Loire-Atlantique, France and was originally built in the Middle Ages. It was classified as a historic monument by 1911 but had eventually become a ruin by the 1990s. Jean-Louis Boisel and Gwenole Congard were commissioned to restore the monument, and instead of using traditional medieval constructs they decided to replace it with figures from pop culture. SO it is now restored in a medieval construct by guarded by statues of things like Gizmo and creatures from Alien turning an ancient historic site into a contemporary one.
# 2 The RedChurch
The Red Church in what is now Bulgaria was one of the earliest Christian buildings ever built, established between the 4th and 5th century. It was a building that had ceilings of 32 meters to 104 feet and covered in huge frescoes. It was eventually destroyed by Crusaders in the 13th century, but parts of the original structures still stand to this day.
# 1 MyraNecropolis
In the hills of SouthernTurkey, you can find the Myra Necropolis, a structure that dates back to 4th century BCE. This breathtaking complex of tombs is carved into a cliff directly near the ocean and river of Myra, several meters above the town. The tombs have stood the test of time and offer a strange look into the way ancient people laid their dead to rest.

Discover ancient places where people lived long ago.
The National ParkService (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) excavated nine archaeological sites along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon during three years of fieldwork. The NPS/MNA excavation project was the first major archaeological excavation to occur along the river corridor in Grand Canyon in nearly 40 years. The NPS has a "preservation-in-place" mandate, and excavates archaeological sites only when they cannot be stabilized and preserved in place. These sites were disappearing due to erosion; artifacts were literally washing into the river. Because these sites were being lost, the NPS initiated excavations to learn more about the people who lived here before the archaeological evidence of their lives in the canyon was completely gone.
Archaeologists excavated the sites, exposing them for a few days or weeks during which time these videos were taken. Immediately after excavation, the sites were reburied to protect them from further damage from exposure to the elements and possible damage from visitation. This video and the virtual tour (below) is now the only way to experience these places where people once lived.

The "red-rose" city of Petra stands as one of the most glorious and mysterious archaeological sites on earth. Created over 2,500 years ago, the ornate Petra cityscape was literally carved into the rose-colored walls of Jordan's SharaMountains. The builders of Petra, the Nabataeans, were thought to be some of the wealthiest people ever to inhabit the Middle East, but they, along with their riches, simply vanished. What was Petra and could the Arabian site be still hiding precious treasure?
Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BCE as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". See: UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."
Evidence suggests that settlements had begun in and around Petra in the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt (1550--1292 BCE)[citation needed]. It is listed in Egyptian campaign accounts and the Amarna letters as Pel, Sela or Seir. Though the city was founded relatively late, a sanctuary existed there since very ancient times. Stations 19 through 26 of the stations list of Exodus are places associated with Petra. This part of the country was biblically assigned to the Horites, the predecessors of the Edomites. The habits of the original natives may have influenced the Nabataean custom of burying the dead and offering worship in half-excavated caves. Although Petra is usually identified with Sela which means a rock, the Biblical references refer to

#4 Sacsayhuaman (sax-a-woman)
On the outskirts of the city of Cusco in Peru, you’ll find an ancient walled fortress … sections of which were initially built in the year 1100. Sacsayhuaman was a citadel complex that was expanded upon by the Inca starting in 1300, and involved the use of stones that weighed hundreds of tons. Workers cut the boulders so precisely that they fit without mortar … even a piece of paper couldn’t fit in the space between them. That has led some sources to speculate that the workers must have had access to something more advanced than bronze tools to cut through the hard andesite stone. Cuts so precise seem more likely to have been made with a machine, than primitive tools … at least according to certain theories. Could the Inca have had access to some form of advanced technology … and if so, how might that impact history?
#3 The Moai (MO-eye) HeadsEaster Island is an isolated volcanic island in Polynesia … where it might be better known as Rapa Nui. No matter the island’s name, it’s famous for being the home of the Moai heads. Around 900 of the huge stone figures are believed to have been erected there from the 12th to the 17th century. Standing at an average height of 13 feet, the monolithic human figures weigh on average nearly 14 tons … but the largest stood 33 feet and weighed more than 90 tons! They were carved from volcanic ash, then set atop stone platforms, and scattered in various locations across the island. One question that always arises concerning the Moai Heads is, ‘Are they attached to bodies’? And in fact they attached to bodies that are usually placed in a squatting position, buy are buried up to the neck. Many archaeologists believe that the Moai heads represent the ancestors of the ancient Polynesian peoples … other experts see the stone heads as symbols of religious and/or political power and authority. And there’s another mystery regarding the monoliths -- how exactly were they transported across the island?
#2 Ggantija (GAHN-tie-jah)
These two temples were were constructed in Malta starting in the Neolithic, around 3600 BC. They are the earliest Megalithic Temples found in the island country … although the temples are found specifically on the island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean. At some 5,500 years old, they’re older than the pyramids of Egypt. Experts say that the temples would have been used as ceremonial sites for fertility rituals … and have found figurines and statues in the area that have been apparently linked to such a cult. The construction of these edifices presents its own mystery: How could the huge stone buildings have been erected when the islanders didn’t have the wheel or the use of metal tools? Spherical stones found nearby may have been used as a type of ball-bearing to transport the blocks … but that’s not a certainty. Nor is the exact purpose for which the temples were built. What do you think?
#1 Gobekli Tepe
This mysterious site is located in southeastern Turkey … and is thought to date back as far as the 10th millennium BC. Nearly 1,000 feet in diameter (300m), the site features more than 200T-shaped pillars arranged in 20 circles …Did you know that they are believed to be the oldest known megaliths on the planet. Every one of the pillars reaches 20 feet high (3m), and weighs around 20 tons. Sockets were carved out of the bedrock, into which the pillars were fitted. Located on an isolated plateau, Gobekli Tepe was first documented during a survey in the early 1960s. In 1995, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavations there, which continued until his death in 2014. Schmidt believed the site was not a settlement … but a stone-age sanctuary where people from across the region would occasionally congregate. Some of the findings there raise more archaeological questions than answers. For instance, strange pictograms and carved animal reliefs decorate most of the pillars, with vultures displayed prominently. So far, scholars have not been able to interpret the pictograms meanings. Nothing has yet been determined for certain about Gobekli Tepe, since excavations have revealed less than 5 percent of the area. But radiocarbon dating suggests it could represent the oldest religious site yet discovered in the world.

An archaeological site is a place (or group of physical sites) in which evidence of past activity is preserved (either prehistoric or historic or contemporary), and which has been, or may be, investigated using the discipline of archaeology and represents a part of the archaeological record. Sites may range from those with few or no remains visible above ground, to buildings and other structures still in use.
Beyond this, the definition and geographical extent of a "site" can vary widely, depending on the period studied and the theoretical approach of the archaeologist.
It is almost invariably difficult to delimit a site. It is sometimes taken to indicate a settlement of some sort although the archaeologist must also define the limits of human activity around the settlement. Any episode of deposition such as a hoard or burial can form a site as well. Development-led archaeology undertaken as cultural resources management has the disadvantage (or the benefit) of having its sites defined by the limits of the intended development. Even in this case however, in describing and interpreting the site, the archaeologist will have to look outside the boundaries of the building site.
According to JessBeck in “How Do Archaeologists find sites?” the areas with a large number of artifacts are good targets for future excavation, while areas with small number of artifacts are thought to reflect a lack of past human activity.” Many areas have been discovered by accident. The most common person to have found artifacts are farmers who are plowing their fields or just cleaning them up often find archaeological artifacts. Many people who are out hiking and even pilots find artifacts they usually end up reporting them to archaeologist to do further investigation. When they find sites, they have to first record the area and if they have the money and time for the site they can start digging.
There are many ways to find sites, one example can be through surveys. Surveys involve walking around analyzing the land looking for artifacts. It can also involve digging, according to the Archaeological Institute of America, “archaeologists actively search areas that were likely to support human populations, or in places where old documents and records indicate people once lived.” This helps archaeologists in the future. In case there was no time, or money during the finding of the site, archaeologists can come back and visit the site for further digging to find out the extent of the site. Archaeologist can also sample randomly within a given area of land as another form of conducting surveys. Surveys are very useful, according to Jess Beck, “it can tell you where people were living at different points in the past.” Geophysics is a branch of survey becoming more and more popular in archaeology, because it uses different types of instruments to investigate features below the ground surface. It is not as reliable, because although they can see what is under the surface of the ground it does not produce the best picture. Archaeologists have to still dig up the area in order to uncover the truth. There are also two most common types of geophysical survey, which is, magnetometer and ground penetrating radar. Magnetometry is the technique of measuring and mapping patterns of magnetism in the soil. It uses an instrument called a magnetometer which is required to measure and map traces of soil magnetism. The ground penetrating radar is a method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It uses electro magnetic radiation in the microwave band of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures.

The Excavation Process: How We Excavate

This video features discussion of the kinds of tools used to excavate at the Cooper'sFerry site. Also, the effect of animal burrowing on archeological deposits and how they are handled during the excavation process is discussed. The infilled tunnels left behind by burrowing animals are called krotovina (sounds like crow-toe-vee-na).

12 Unbelievable Archaeological Sites

Al’Ula is an ancient settlement of 800 or so tightly packed mud buildings in Northwestern Saudi Arabia. Traveling through these more than 2,000-year-old buildings feels like walking through a maze. It was originally built in the 6th century BCE and would be lived in for a few more centuries and then would be reconstructed in the 13th century. The town would be built up from the original foundations but was abandoned near the beginning of the 20th century and has been left to slowly rot in the hot sun for centuries.

# 8 Mound of the HostagesThe Mound of Hostages is 15 meters in diameter and 3 meters high and was built around 5,000 years ago. It is thought that as many as 500 people used the mound as their final resting place. It was built in relation to the sun and moon, specifically in a way that sunlight never penetrates the tomb except for twice every year. In excavations taken between 1955 and 1959 the cremated remains of over 200 people and several burial gifts, making it one of the most comprehensive set of grave goods ever found. More recent excavations have found buried stone structures that might suggest that the mound was originally a monument even bigger than Stonehenge.
# 7 Cave of the Seven Sleepers
In the year 250, the Roman EmperorDecius declared that everyone must perform a sacrifice to the empire and Roman gods. The Christian communities living under his rule did not appreciate this, and so seven young Christian men fled to a cave in the outskirts of the city and fell asleep. So they were sealed in by Roman soldiers. These caves are still known as the Cave of Seven Sleepers to this day.
# 6 Petra
Petra is a historical site known for amazing architecture that is cut directly from rock. It could have been established as early as 312 BCE but would not be discovered by the western globe until 1812. It’s a site full of tombs and has managed to stay mostly intact for thousands of years. And as late as 2016 archaeologists discovered a large monumental structure buried beneath the sands in Petra using satellite imagery.
# 5 Itsukushima Shrine
The Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto Shrine in the Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It was first built in 593 CE but has been rebuilt over and over again over time. The entire shrine is built on a pier away from the ground because the island was once thought to be too sacred for people to set foot on. The shrine was rebuilt most recently in 1875.
# 4 The LonelyCastle
Standing in the middle of absolutely nowhere in the north Saudi Arabian desert is a tomb cut into a rock formation. It is a part of an ancient Nabatean settlement but is the biggest tomb in the area by far at 131 feet tall. It is a four-story monument that is carved directly into the rock and while it is called a “Castle” it was never completed and is mostly just the outer facade.
# 3 Bethlehem Chapel
The Bethlehem Chapel is a historic site in Loire-Atlantique, France and was originally built in the Middle Ages. It was classified as a historic monument by 1911 but had eventually become a ruin by the 1990s. Jean-Louis Boisel and Gwenole Congard were commissioned to restore the monument, and instead of using traditional medieval constructs they decided to replace it with figures from pop culture. SO it is now restored in a medieval construct by guarded by statues of things like Gizmo and creatures from Alien turning an ancient historic site into a contemporary one.
# 2 The RedChurch
The Red Church in what is now Bulgaria was one of the earliest Christian buildings ever built, established between the 4th and 5th century. It was a building that had ceilings of 32 meters to 104 feet and covered in huge frescoes. It was eventually destroyed by Crusaders in the 13th century, but parts of the original structures still stand to this day.
# 1 MyraNecropolis
In the hills of SouthernTurkey, you can find the Myra Necropolis, a structure that dates back to 4th century BCE. This breathtaking complex of tombs is carved into a cliff directly near the ocean and river of Myra, several meters above the town. The tombs have stood the test of time and offer a strange look into the way ancient people laid their dead to rest.

Visit Grand Canyon Archeological Sites Hidden For Centuries.

Discover ancient places where people lived long ago.
The National ParkService (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) excavated nine archaeological sites along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon during three years of fieldwork. The NPS/MNA excavation project was the first major archaeological excavation to occur along the river corridor in Grand Canyon in nearly 40 years. The NPS has a "preservation-in-place" mandate, and excavates archaeological sites only when they cannot be stabilized and preserved in place. These sites were disappearing due to erosion; artifacts were literally washing into the river. Because these sites were being lost, the NPS initiated excavations to learn more about the people who lived here before the archaeological evidence of their lives in the canyon was completely gone.
Archaeologists excavated the sites, exposing them for a few days or weeks during which time these videos were taken. Immediately after excavation, the sites were reburied to protect them from further damage from exposure to the elements and possible damage from visitation. This video and the virtual tour (below) is now the only way to experience these places where people once lived.

Petra one of the most Mysterious Archaeological Sites on Earth [FULL DOCUMENTARY]

The "red-rose" city of Petra stands as one of the most glorious and mysterious archaeological sites on earth. Created over 2,500 years ago, the ornate Petra cityscape was literally carved into the rose-colored walls of Jordan's SharaMountains. The builders of Petra, the Nabataeans, were thought to be some of the wealthiest people ever to inhabit the Middle East, but they, along with their riches, simply vanished. What was Petra and could the Arabian site be still hiding precious treasure?
Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ, Ancient Greek Πέτρα) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.
Established possibly as early as 312 BCE as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as its most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". See: UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die."
Evidence suggests that settlements had begun in and around Petra in the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt (1550--1292 BCE)[citation needed]. It is listed in Egyptian campaign accounts and the Amarna letters as Pel, Sela or Seir. Though the city was founded relatively late, a sanctuary existed there since very ancient times. Stations 19 through 26 of the stations list of Exodus are places associated with Petra. This part of the country was biblically assigned to the Horites, the predecessors of the Edomites. The habits of the original natives may have influenced the Nabataean custom of burying the dead and offering worship in half-excavated caves. Although Petra is usually identified with Sela which means a rock, the Biblical references refer to

Students 'Visit' Lost Archaeological Site in Virtual Reality

Yale's Center for Teaching and Learning, the campus hub for innovative and creative teaching methodologies, brought students to an ancient Assyrian palace via Oculus Rift, a virtual reality system. The students were in a class on the history of the ancient near east taught by Kathryn Slanski. The palace model was created by Learning Sites, a Massachusetts-based company that creates virtual models of archaeological sites for educational purposes.

#4 Sacsayhuaman (sax-a-woman)
On the outskirts of the city of Cusco in Peru, you’ll find an ancient walled fortress … sections of which were initially built in the year 1100. Sacsayhuaman was a citadel complex that was expanded upon by the Inca starting in 1300, and involved the use of stones that weighed hundreds of tons. Workers cut the boulders so precisely that they fit without mortar … even a piece of paper couldn’t fit in the space between them. That has led some sources to speculate that the workers must have had access to something more advanced than bronze tools to cut through the hard andesite stone. Cuts so precise seem more likely to have been made with a machine, than primitive tools … at least according to certain theories. Could the Inca have had access to some form of advanced technology … and if so, how might that impact history?
#3 The Moai (MO-eye) HeadsEaster Island is an isolated volcanic island in Polynesia … where it might be better known as Rapa Nui. No matter the island’s name, it’s famous for being the home of the Moai heads. Around 900 of the huge stone figures are believed to have been erected there from the 12th to the 17th century. Standing at an average height of 13 feet, the monolithic human figures weigh on average nearly 14 tons … but the largest stood 33 feet and weighed more than 90 tons! They were carved from volcanic ash, then set atop stone platforms, and scattered in various locations across the island. One question that always arises concerning the Moai Heads is, ‘Are they attached to bodies’? And in fact they attached to bodies that are usually placed in a squatting position, buy are buried up to the neck. Many archaeologists believe that the Moai heads represent the ancestors of the ancient Polynesian peoples … other experts see the stone heads as symbols of religious and/or political power and authority. And there’s another mystery regarding the monoliths -- how exactly were they transported across the island?
#2 Ggantija (GAHN-tie-jah)
These two temples were were constructed in Malta starting in the Neolithic, around 3600 BC. They are the earliest Megalithic Temples found in the island country … although the temples are found specifically on the island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean. At some 5,500 years old, they’re older than the pyramids of Egypt. Experts say that the temples would have been used as ceremonial sites for fertility rituals … and have found figurines and statues in the area that have been apparently linked to such a cult. The construction of these edifices presents its own mystery: How could the huge stone buildings have been erected when the islanders didn’t have the wheel or the use of metal tools? Spherical stones found nearby may have been used as a type of ball-bearing to transport the blocks … but that’s not a certainty. Nor is the exact purpose for which the temples were built. What do you think?
#1 Gobekli Tepe
This mysterious site is located in southeastern Turkey … and is thought to date back as far as the 10th millennium BC. Nearly 1,000 feet in diameter (300m), the site features more than 200T-shaped pillars arranged in 20 circles …Did you know that they are believed to be the oldest known megaliths on the planet. Every one of the pillars reaches 20 feet high (3m), and weighs around 20 tons. Sockets were carved out of the bedrock, into which the pillars were fitted. Located on an isolated plateau, Gobekli Tepe was first documented during a survey in the early 1960s. In 1995, German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavations there, which continued until his death in 2014. Schmidt believed the site was not a settlement … but a stone-age sanctuary where people from across the region would occasionally congregate. Some of the findings there raise more archaeological questions than answers. For instance, strange pictograms and carved animal reliefs decorate most of the pillars, with vultures displayed prominently. So far, scholars have not been able to interpret the pictograms meanings. Nothing has yet been determined for certain about Gobekli Tepe, since excavations have revealed less than 5 percent of the area. But radiocarbon dating suggests it could represent the oldest religious site yet discovered in the world.

An archaeological site is a place (or group of physical sites) in which evidence of past activity is preserved (either prehistoric or historic or contemporary), and which has been, or may be, investigated using the discipline of archaeology and represents a part of the archaeological record. Sites may range from those with few or no remains visible above ground, to buildings and other structures still in use.
Beyond this, the definition and geographical extent of a "site" can vary widely, depending on the period studied and the theoretical approach of the archaeologist.
It is almost invariably difficult to delimit a site. It is sometimes taken to indicate a settlement of some sort although the archaeologist must also define the limits of human activity around the settlement. Any episode of deposition such as a hoard or burial can form a site as well. Development-led archaeology undertaken as cultural resources management has the disadvantage (or the benefit) of having its sites defined by the limits of the intended development. Even in this case however, in describing and interpreting the site, the archaeologist will have to look outside the boundaries of the building site.
According to JessBeck in “How Do Archaeologists find sites?” the areas with a large number of artifacts are good targets for future excavation, while areas with small number of artifacts are thought to reflect a lack of past human activity.” Many areas have been discovered by accident. The most common person to have found artifacts are farmers who are plowing their fields or just cleaning them up often find archaeological artifacts. Many people who are out hiking and even pilots find artifacts they usually end up reporting them to archaeologist to do further investigation. When they find sites, they have to first record the area and if they have the money and time for the site they can start digging.
There are many ways to find sites, one example can be through surveys. Surveys involve walking around analyzing the land looking for artifacts. It can also involve digging, according to the Archaeological Institute of America, “archaeologists actively search areas that were likely to support human populations, or in places where old documents and records indicate people once lived.” This helps archaeologists in the future. In case there was no time, or money during the finding of the site, archaeologists can come back and visit the site for further digging to find out the extent of the site. Archaeologist can also sample randomly within a given area of land as another form of conducting surveys. Surveys are very useful, according to Jess Beck, “it can tell you where people were living at different points in the past.” Geophysics is a branch of survey becoming more and more popular in archaeology, because it uses different types of instruments to investigate features below the ground surface. It is not as reliable, because although they can see what is under the surface of the ground it does not produce the best picture. Archaeologists have to still dig up the area in order to uncover the truth. There are also two most common types of geophysical survey, which is, magnetometer and ground penetrating radar. Magnetometry is the technique of measuring and mapping patterns of magnetism in the soil. It uses an instrument called a magnetometer which is required to measure and map traces of soil magnetism. The ground penetrating radar is a method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It uses electro magnetic radiation in the microwave band of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures.

When his brother King Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's son and successor, the 12-year-old Edward V. As the young king travelled to London from Ludlow, Richard met and escorted him to lodgings in the Tower of London, where Edward V's own brother Richard of Shrewsbury joined him shortly afterwards. Arrangements were made for Edward's coronation on 22 June 1483; but, before the young king could be crowned, his father's marriage to his mother Elizabeth Woodville was declared invalid, making their children illegitimate and ineligible for the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of Lords and commoners endorsed the claims. The following day, Richard III began his reign, and he was crowned on 6 July 1483. The young princes were not seen in public after August, and accusations circulated that the boys had been murdered on Richard's orders, giving rise to the legend of the Princes in the Tower.
